  The reviews of Agnieska on TripAdvisor and Google are all extremely positive. We are adding to those positive reviews with, perhaps, even more enthusiasm. In our 10 days in Europe (Lithuania, Norway and Amsterdam), including five in Lithuania, three of which were with Agnieska, she was the absolute highlight. We feel very lucky to have found her and after spending only three days with her consider her and her family to be our friends. I traveled with my adult daughter, who was attending a conference in Vilnius, and my sister. My sister and I knew that our grandfather was from Lithuania and had tracked him down to the city of Siauliai. That's all we knew. We spent our first day with Agnes (she suggested we call her that) in Vilnius where Agnes took us to the important historical and cultural sites. These included some of the less well-visited churches and the only surviving synagogue in Vilnius. She walked us through the Old Town, the university and the government centers providing interesting detail at every stop. We had lunch in a quaint little restaurant in the Old Town with Agnes guiding our choices. The second day was very full - from 8 am to 8 pm. We left Vilnius early and drove about an hour to Kaunas. In Kaunas, we picked up Chaim - a guide to Jewish heritage in Lithuania who Agnes had arranged to join us for the day. From Kaunas we drove through the country side - stopping in towns and villages along the way where Chaim took us to Jewish landmarks and smaller sites of great meaning and significance to Jews from Lithuania. We arrived in Siauliai in the early afternoon. Chaim again took us to many landmarks and sites of significance to those of us with Jewish heritage including to the small Jewish Community Center in Siauliai that is working to keep the culture alive there. A highlight in Siauliai was our lunch in a very authentic Russian "canteen" (cost 18 Euro for 4 large meals). We ended our day in Siauliai at the Hill of Crosses - an experience beyond imagination. Throughout the day, Agnes was as curious about, and as interested in, our Jewish heritage and in learning from Chaim as we were. On our last touring day with Agnes, we went to Trakai - a beautiful village set on a lake about 45 minutes from Vilnius - where there is a 14th century castle built by early rulers of Lithuania. Agnes took this opportunity to teach us about the history of Trakai, the castle and the Lithuanian people. Agnes had informed us that it is a tradition when visiting Trakai to eat a meat filled pastry called Kibinai. We ended the day there at a lovely little cafe on the water. At this last stop, Agnes dropped that she also teaches cooking classes. We hopped on the chance to visit her at her home (which turned out to be in the countryside outside of Vilnius), meet her family and learn a little about cooking traditional Lithuanian dishes. The evening we spent with Agnes and her family at their home was extremely comfortable, warm and fun. It was like visiting old friends. And the food was interesting and tasty. Our days in Lithuania with Agnes were everything we could have hoped for. She also suggested places for us to visit in Vilnius on the day we had on our own. We know that Agnes guides tours around not only Vilnius and Lithuania but around all of the Baltic States. If you have a chance to spend a couple of hours or several days with Agnes, jump on it.

  Hello, My name is Rabbi DR Mervyn FRied and I visited Vilnius in JUly of 2025. My Tour guide Agnieska Kasinska was fantastic and was at my side for my 2 day visit She took me around the city and surrounding sites with the knowledge of a professional and added additional sightings when necessary. Being a very fit traveler I sometimes put her to the test. Her knowledge of the Country as exceptional and even helped me in a distress situation, meaning having my luggage lost on my way to Lithuania. In our/my two day excursion of the cities I gained knowledge from my Heritage as my parents were born in Lithuania. Yes, if I ever go back to visit the country, I would definitely use her guiding experience again. She , Agnieska is a 101% graded tour guide Best Rabbi DR Mervyn FRied

  Agnieska did a wonderful job of bringing us through the Lithuanian country side to explore the land of our ancestors. She did research, explained things well, and even reached out to locals so that we could share a connection with those who share our ancestors’s sir name. I cannot thank her enough!

  Myself and 2 friends went on the food/history tour with Agnieska. We had a very good time! The tour was a good mix of learning about the history of Vilnius/Lithuania and trying traditional Lithuanian food and drinks. I would recommend anyone visiting Vilnius to spend time with Agnieska who will show you around beautiful Vilnius and introduce you to great local food and drink.

  

• Agnieska is awesome for the sights and tastes of Lithuania.

  Our first visit to Lithuania. Agnieska was the perfect guide for a first visit to Lithuania. Just like visiting any new place for the first time, pace and knowledgeable information is key for a great tour. Agnieska provided it all. We look forward to our next visit to Lithuania and will definitely ask for Agnieska's support as we explore new places to see, explore and taste. Cheers from Mike in Karen in Colorado

  Agnieszka was great! So glad we did this right after we landed. She showed us all around, we discussed all kinds of topics - was a great introduction to Vilnius! Our second day we went around on our own to visit some of the spots she pointed out. The third day she took us to Trakai but first saw a little of the modern/financial/tech area. We thoroughly enjoyed our time w her. Highly recommend !

  My son and I were visiting Lithuania for the first time to see the homeland of my grandparents. Our guide, Agnieska Kasinska, did a walking tour of Vilnius with us and later drove us to see the Kaunas region. Thanks to Agnieska we gained a good feel for the layout of Vilnius and history of the city, as well as insight into the lives of the people living there. We were particularly impressed by her very fluent English and the patience with which she answered our many questions. The road trip to Kaunas and the countryside via Birstonas and Trakai was magical. Agnieska is very personable guide, and we were fortunate have begun our visit with her wonderful tours. I highly recommend her to all interested in touring Vilnius and Lithuania.
